I wonder if the BBC can realise just how pandering this Kevin Connolly article is to Gordon Brown’s chosen narrative of his trip to Washington? Right from the beginning it takes the Brown line: “Even as the Prime Minister grapples with the catastrophic economic fallout of globalisation, he has been suffering at the hands of the media’s own version of it.” Attacks on Brown’s blatant showboating are described as “unkind”. … Continue reading

He was on to argue for more financial help for Gaza and to ensure that those pesky borders aree opened up to allow for the flow of all that “humanitarian aid” which the inhabitants of this moral sewer require.

This morning someone with a foreign namewas being asked how to punish Israel some more for its war crimes, did you know that over 800 civilians have been killed in Gaza? A lot of young people are trying to combine Islam and rap music. Fascinating, I was so inspired. Why, … Continue reading
